Unless the new paper mario is identical to the first or TTYD /v/ autists will foam at the mouth about how terrible it is.

You summon them to take a hit for you for a turn.

I guess it's better than nothing

SPM was NOT identical and was an excellent spin off.

The problem is that SS was pretty much universally unliked as a direction to take the series. Nintendo is too stupid to listen.

OP here, I'm being completely serious. The way I think of it is like >>345180907 it's better than no partners at all, right?

>>345181017
They're not even partners anymore in that case. They're just fucking R-type shields with no characterization.

>>345180634
>nintendo's literally, LITERALLY, parodying the partner system now
Fuck these guys

>>345181087
B-but, if you use your imagination, i-it's kinda like they're partners

>>345180634
They at least kept turn based, and you still have action commands to power up the moves, so I will give the game a chance.
I'm not impressed so far, but hopefully there will be some redeeming qualities.

I'm convinced this mechanic is only here so they could show screenshots that get people's hopes up that partners might come back.

And fuck them for that.
